Yes! I have a '66 and need any parts I can get my hands on!!
Urgently needed items:
Front Nose Skin
If you can cut this off cleanly, I want it! If not, over cut it and I
will clean it myself. I need this so bad I can taste it. My current
nose is 75% bondo and the window seals have nothing to grip to. I will
gladly pay whatever it costs to ship it. According to several places I
have looked into for a new replacement, they are UPS shippable. I need
this, it must be in better shape than mine!
Steering Box/Column
This is a one piece unit. If it is in good condition, I need it. Mine
currently has about 2-inches of play.. not good at all!
Cargo Floors
Not sure if this is possible to cleanly cut out. But if so.. I need
cargo floor sections.

Needed, but not urgent items:
Steering Wheel
Any seats in restorable condition
Washer squirter bottle with hose
Wiper arms
Elephant Mirrors
You should see my '66.. it is sweet... frame is solid, no holes in the
body, no bondo with the exception of the front nose. Not even surface
rust! The only surface rust is on the pop-out window mouldings. You
parts would be going to a very good home.
I wish I was in Utah.. I would take everything I could carry! :-)
Thanks! My voice phone is 612.551.1829.. call collect if necessary! I
need those urgent parts. I want to weld and paint this winter while I
build a new engine..
